God and Angels Love Old People

The First Day

Rex is a rancher, wealthy, with a keen eye on investments. He knew Baby Boomer Care Center was on the verge of bankruptcy and he was thinking about buying it, since he knew he could get it at a bargain price. But, first he wanted to check it out to see if he could turn a profit.He didn’t want anyone to suspect he was a rich investor, so he went undercover. He drove his old clunker of a 6 passenger van to the care center. He planned on checking in.

Walking with a cane, he went up to Erma Goose asking, “Is this where I check in?”

“Yes sir. If you brought your loved ones with you, I have a few questions to ask them.”

“I ain’t got no loved ones.”

“Oh! How did you get here?”

“How do you think? I drove here.”

“Oh. Well then, perhaps you’ll answer a few questions. Do you have any doctor’s directives?”

“Yes maam. Here it is.” It was fake of course. He knew that this was one of the few elderly care centers that dispensed marijuana. What a lovely idea – make old people happy. Here’s what the prescription said: Two marijuana roaches per day (to keep him from suicidal thoughts), one Viagra a day (to keep him from suicidal thoughts) and two aspirins a day (to keep his heart in good shape).

She should have known it was a fake because it was legible, but she needed more roomers so she accepted it. “If you’ll answer a few questions, we’ll get you settled in.”

“I’d like a suite, Maam.”

“We don’t have suites, but we do have a large room that we’ll put you in. So, back to the questions. Your age and birth date?”
